The Lounge / Re: UK riders...Selling bike need help working out prices as complete or parts

Cheers guys.

I guess if i go sell it , it will be best to break it.

Thing is it's sitting in the shed gathering dust. I don't see myself riding it anymore. Think i'll ebay it and see if iget any takers. Worth a punt i guess.

The Lounge / UK riders...Selling bike need help working out prices as complete or parts

« on: January 12, 2015, 05:47:01 AM »

It pains me to write this thread...Been away from the scene proper long, I pretty much quit riding 4 years ago. I’ve ridden my bike twice in the last 2 years. So now I think I might be time to part with my bike.

I have no idea what second hand parts  are worth these days. What is the following spec worth as say a complete custom? Or as separate parts alone?

Obviously the bike is worth a lot to me sentimentally, but in real life what it is worth to me and to a  buyer are two different things.

So what's it worth as a complete? i was thinking at leats £500-£600.

How much would the bike parts sell for? I am guessing half original price maybe ( am i being optimistic???)

Thanks in advance.

Very good seller, pegs came as described and very good communication, fast delivery in 2 days, probably would have been faster but because of the bank hol!!! :p

Also sent me a set of grips for free!

A pleasure to deal with and definitely recommended
